31 CONVENT CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 31 CONVENT CLOSE sales from February 1997 and May 2022 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the February 1997 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the May 2022 sale, where it rises to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might 31 CONVENT CLOSE be worth now?
